Born in Chester Nova Scotia, Mark was a Band nerd all through school. Originally a Tuba player he started playing bass guitar after discovering pop music on the radio. In high school Mark started playing in a few local bar bands. He went to University to study jazz at St. Francis Xavier University. He studied to become a teacher and in 1995 started teaching at Bridgetown Regional High School. His days as a performing bassist were to be put behind him, or so he thought.
Mark decided one day to form a blues band. He couldn’t find a singer so he tried it out himself. Fast forward a few years and Mark has been in many bands up and down the valley. He has also played with and continues to play with Caleb Miles. He has recently recorded bass parts for Andy and Ariana on their most recent CD Eye to Eye.
In October of 2013 he released his first CD of original material called Half Lies Half Truths. The songs on the CD range in style of blues and soul, with a touch of pop, rock and jazz. Mark fronts an exciting trio called The Idle Threats that play original music as well as soul and R&B. You can catch them playing up and down the valley.
